Told you so Dan.

Matt is one of the Top 10 lifters in Oz

Spending money getting taught by a proper strength coach is the best thing you can do if you are serious about improving your lifts.

Look forward to reading about your progress

Nice work Dan, much better when someone shows you how to do it than trying to learn off the net/vids.

To say I was surprised is an understatement.

Not that I doubted what you were saying Markos, moreso that I doubted I could do it given what I thought of my back and ankle.

Based on how I feel today, my back and ankle must be stronger than I gave them credit for.

Initially my goal for this year, as in year starting October when I busted my leg, was to squat and DL BW for reps and get those areas more balanced with the bench. I'm confident I can do that and will have to pick some new goals for the remainder of the year.

Really good to hear the session was worth it Dan! Good shit Similarly, even without the coaching, I was blown away when I managed to pull 175kg at ~72kg body weight. Nothing compared to the PTC lifters, but I just didn't think it was really possible to do with remotely decent form at my size.

So realistically, the goal for me should be like 200 or more 0_0

I'm going to need more plates...

(I am not aiming that high lol)

Go as high as you want man; it's about you, not impressing others or meeting their expectations. People will always be more concerned with their own lifts than others anyway. Improvement can be addictive though.

[No Crust Racing]

Well I need to at least try and not be weaker than Markos' girls, so that's a fair way off where I am lol.

[markos]

Dan, over 250 clients at my gym have pulled over 200kg, only around 15% compete, the other 85% are just like you and everyone else on this forum, only stronger lol

In time, you will pull 200kg

Good goal

[No Crust Racing]

Ugh, why is everyone so strong =\

Gyming was so much easier when all I cared about was the look and wearing tight shirts lol

[Trozzle]

LOL truth!!! Especially when I thought I looked good (which in hindsight I was soooo wrong haha)

I've had 1x regular skim flat white (320ml total, 2 shots espresso) and 1x jumbo skim flat white (470ml total, 3 shots espresso), and a multivitamin. Apparently that comes to somewhere around 245 cal.

[No Crust Racing]

You didn't answer my question.

Why?

[Trozzle]

You never asked why lol

Because I like to do IF every now and then. Not just for assistance with dropping body fat, but also as a way of managing my f**ked appetite lol

[No Crust Racing]

C'mon man, lack of food is affecting you. I said "At all? wtf? " There's two question marks in there.. Get on board

Well you're forked in the head my friend. Going a day without eating is just plain wrong.

Are you some kind of masochist?

Please tell me you're only kidding and you're not in just as much denial about human nutrition and dieting methods as Birds is lol

I'd argue being overweight by eating complete shit is a better definition of being masochistic. Hell, even just eating "bad" food like your donuts is worse.

Going a day without eating is only good for you, short of being lethargic and grumpy.

[No Crust Racing]

lol nah you're missing the point entirely.

I enjoy eating food, not doing it is painful, to do that intentionally is the definition of masochism.

I didn't say anything about it being good or bad nutritionally, I give no f**ks for that.

I'm a simple man Troy, food good, no food bad.

Troy not eat food? Bad Troy.
